Serengeti
Kenny Dennis LP

Serengeti is a rapper from Chicago who introduced the character “Kenny Dennis” back in 2006 on the album Dennehy. He released Kenny Dennis EP back in 2012 so this album Kenny Dennis LP is Kenny’s second album, but really one of Serengeti’s many albums. So who is Kenny? He’s a little past 50 years old, has a thick mustache, thick Chicago accent, loud and opinionated. This is meant to be a playful, light-hearted album. The content isn’t deep, the beats are simple. The lyrics are stream of consciousness. The skit tracks are amusing with cool beats, narrated by Anders Holm from the TV show Workaholics.
